Harry Potter’s Natural Villain

Professor Sprout was a squat witch, she always looked kind, with a patched hat on her fluttering hair, and there was always a lot of dirt on her clothes. If the witch hat was taken off. , anyone would have thought she was an ordinary farm woman, but now she was a herbalist at Hogwarts.

Today's herbal medicine class is Ravenclaw and Slytherin together. Unlike usual, they are going to the third greenhouse today. The plants here are more interesting than the first greenhouse, and of course more dangerous. The students were whispering, guessing what they would learn today, well, most of these students are Ravenclaw, you can't expect Crabbe and Goyle to love learning too, it seems that the two of them are confused. Lethargic, lethargic, very consistent with the state of scumbags.

Malfoy and Pansy walked to the door of the conservatory, surrounded by Ravenclaw and Slytherin students, waiting for Professor Sprout to arrive.

"Sorry boys, I'm a little late." Professor Sprout was late, with a lot of bandages on his arm. "There's something wrong with the beating willow, and I have to fix it," she said. He took a large key from his belt and opened the door. A smell of damp earth and manure crept into their noses, mixed with a rich floral scent. The flowers were the size of umbrellas and hung from the ceiling.

The students looked around curiously.

"Don't touch it." Malfoy grabbed Pansy's hand, and she was about to reach out to touch a plant growing in a small porcelain pot, with coquettish and charming flowers blooming on it. Colors are attractive to girls.

"If your hands want to be like this, I won't stop you." Watching Pansy glaring at him, Malfoy pulled out a book out of nowhere, as if he had eaten it. Like his stomach, he skillfully flipped it to the position he needed, pointing to a picture and said. "See for yourself." The picture showed a man's dry hand, covered with black spots, as if it would rot at any moment.

"You won." After seeing the picture, Pansy frowned, took a big step to the other side without hesitation, and showed a disgusted expression at the pot of flowers.

"So the first thing you need to do when you enter here is to put on your gloves." Malfoy said as he picked out a suitable pair of gloves from the table, and Pansy hurriedly chose a pair to put on. She didn't want to accidentally let her own The hand turned into a disgusting appearance.

Professor Sprout, standing behind a bench in the middle of the greenhouse, clapped her hands to draw everyone's attention. She said, "We're going to repot the mandrake today. Now, who can tell me what the mandrake's properties are?"

Several Ravenclaw students immediately raised their hands, and Professor Sprout pointed to a tall and thin boy, he might be a little nervous, and stammered a little: "Yes, you can put the man under the spell. It is a powerful restorative agent to restore the original shape of the person who has been deformed."

"Very good, give Ravenclaw ten points," said Professor Sprout. "Mandela is an important part of most antidotes. But it's also dangerous. Can anyone tell me why?"

"If we hear their cries, we'll die," Malfoy said lightly.

"Correct answer." Professor Sprout said, "I hope you can raise your hand and speak again next time, Draco. Slytherin has ten points." She then pointed to a row of deep-bottomed plates and continued: " You see, the mandrakes we have here are still very young, and their calls are not deadly enough for the time being, but they can also make people faint for a few hours, and now each person has a pair of earmuffs."

There were more than 20 pairs of earmuffs of different colors on the stool, and the students were scrambling for them, and none of them were willing to wear pink earmuffs.

"Well, I have to say it's actually quite suitable for you." Malfoy tried his best not to laugh, and the pink fluffy earmuffs were finally put on by Pansy because she was a little slow.

"Say it again!" Pansy also felt that this girlish-colored decoration was a bit unsuitable for her. When Malfoy teased it again, she couldn't help but feel ashamed and annoyed. She reached out and tried to take off Malfoy's earmuffs. is to exchange.

"Stop." Malfoy opened her hand gently and pointed to the professor,

An ugly baby with grass on its head has been caught, and his skin is light green with spots on it. The little guy was clearly yelling at the top of his lungs.

Malfoy shrugged, meaning that he couldn't help, the study had already begun, and if Pansy was willing to faint for a few hours, maybe he could change it.

Pansy could only shed her anger on the Mandrake doll, she held it tightly with all her strength, and Malfoy assured that the expression on the doll in Pansy's hand was definitely the most adorable in the entire classroom. Painful one.

After a while, basically everyone had completed their task and buried the mandrakes in new pots. Some of the students were sweating profusely, and it looked like he had fought a dark wizard. Some people seem to be at ease, as if they have done a trivial thing.

Suddenly, the students felt the table in front of them sway, and they looked at the teacher, knowing that they were ready to remove the earplugs.

"Very well, everyone has done a good job." Professor Sprout said admiringly, very satisfied with the performance of the students.

"Professor, I want to ask a question." Malfoy raised his hand and thought, "Forcibly assist the science to start."

"Go ahead, boy."

"Can you tell us some specific symptoms that can be solved by Mandrake?" Malfoy said word by word, hoping to attract the attention of the students as much as possible.

"That's a good question." Professor Sprout praised him first, then said, "It's one of those things that people who have been hit with the Petrification Charm can use."

"Professor, did Neville's classmates in Gryffindor also use Mandrakes last semester? He seems to be petrified last semester as well." A brown-haired Ravenclaw girl asked.

"Very good." Professor Sprout's smile became more and more kind, and then he said: "Son, the effect of spells cast by different people will not be the same. Classmate Hermione was not malicious at the time, and she is still a student now. , if the petrification spell was issued by that person..." As he spoke, Professor Sprout's smile narrowed and changed into a serious expression. "Sorry, I seem to have said unnecessary words." She immediately stopped, because she found that the atmosphere at the scene had become solemn, and the faces of the students showed fearful expressions.

Malfoy broke the awkward silence. He continued to ask: "Professor, what about Medusa? It is said that people will be petrified if they look directly into its eyes. Is this true? Mandrakes can solve it?"

"Oh, boy, it's just a legendary creature, don't worry." Professor Sprout paused, as if thinking of something, and then said, "But there is also a creature's eyes and the rumored Medusa. resemblance."

"What is it? Professor," Malfoy demanded.

"The Basilisk."

"Basilisk? What is that?" A group of students began whispering and whispering.

"Well..." Professor Sprout pondered for a while, as if searching for his own memory, and then said: "Actually, you can ask your teacher of the protection of magical creatures - Professor Kettleburn, He should know better than me." She paused and continued, "But since a classmate has asked, I'll answer it—basilisk, a dazzlingly green snake that can grow up to fifty feet in length. The male snake has a bright red feather on its head, and its long teeth are extremely poisonous." She paused again, she should be trying to emphasize the following words, "but its most dangerous way to attack is with its big yellow eyes. Stare at the target being attacked. Anyone whose eyes meet its eyes will be killed instantly, and if it is indirectly relieved, there is only hope, and that is the mandrake."

The students were in an uproar.

Realizing the horror of what he said, Professor Sprout continued: "Don't worry, there has been no record of seeing a basilisk in the UK for at least 400 years." Many students breathed a sigh of relief.

"Does it have natural enemies?"

"Of course, any creature has natural enemies, and a rooster's cry is deadly for it, it seems, because it hatches from a small hen's egg," Professor Sputterau said.

When they walked out of the greenhouse, almost all the classmates were talking. Although many of them were covered in dirt and had backaches after labor, they didn't care about it. There is nothing like a horror, but something far away from people is a better talking point.

"Classmates, what are you talking about, basilisk?" Lockhart appeared behind them like a ghost, leaning against a pillar, he was wearing a lavender lavender robe today, and he was showing eight Shiny teeth and a signature smile. He blinked and continued: "That's really a big guy, when I went...", Lockhart began to show off his "experience" again, and a group of students quickly gathered around after hearing this. , they were curious how Lockhart dealt with the basilisk, was there any magic other than the rooster that could defeat it?

"Pancy, aren't you going to hear his story?" Malfoy asked aside.

"I think your white lady's story is much more interesting." Pansy pouted, dismissing someone.

Malfoy was immediately embarrassed.

About a quarter of an hour later.

"In this way, the village has returned to peace. They wanted to repay me, but I refused. As a recipient of the Third Order of Merlin and an honorary member of the Anti-Dark Magic Alliance, this is what I should do, and I should not accept any payment. ." He paused, then blinked his charming eyes: "Of course the grateful kiss from the girls is not included." As soon as he finished speaking, the students immediately burst into bursts of warm applause, and a group of girls screamed with excitement. Yelling, revealing star-like eyes like fans.

"Where did you steal this from?" Looking at someone's shameless behavior, Malfoy could only roll his eyes to show his contempt.
